Sen. Raphael Warnock

You know, I have to take you at your word.

You say you're a person of faith, but I'm going to hold you accountable to that.

When the pope began to speak in a way that popes speak and said, hey, you know, what about peace, fighting for peace?

And he gets scolded by one of the newest converts to Catholic faith.

And he tells the pope, be careful.

You're talking about theology as if the pope is out of his lane.

talking about theology.

And here's what we know.

If what the Pope was saying was consistent with what J.D.

Vance wanted to do politically, he'd have no problem with it at all.

It's just that he found the Pope's words to be inconvenient.

which is often the case, prophets and prophetic speech often makes politicians concerned and creates inconveniences for the agenda that they want to put forward, especially if it's an agenda that's focused on war, not peace, an agenda focused on enriching the folks who are already rich and are centering the most marginalized members of the human family.

Well, you know, he apparently saw what I said in the New York Times before I did.

And I got in the office.

My staff said that the speaker had asked, could he meet with me?

And, you know, I was sure I'll meet with him every Sunday morning after the sermon is preached.

We Baptists say something.

We say the doors of the church are open.

And we invite those who want to come to Jesus, those who want to make a decision based on the sermon that had been preached.

So I was glad that that got his attention.
